Today marks the third installment of a new, twice-monthly feature on the blog, an original sonnet by Son of Sonnet.  SoS has agreed to contribute two sonnets each month to the blog, which will be posted the first and third Wednesdays of each month.

Your generous subscriptions to my SubscribeStar page have made it possible to patronize Son’s work.  As a community of artists, readers, and pundits, we should work together as much as possible to cultivate and support one another’s talents.  I can’t pay Son much—yet—but I’m able to offer him something for his talents because of your generosity.

Every artist as dedicated to his craft as Son deserves both recognition and support.  I would encourage you to consider a subscription to Son of Sonnet’s SubscribeStar page as a way to encourage the growth and development of an eloquent voice on our side of this long culture war.  Conservatives often complain about not holding any ground culturally; now is the time to support the culture that is being created.

You can read Son of Sonnet’s poetry on his Telegram channel, on Gab, and on Minds.

The Gemini Sonnets #3
By Son of Sonnet

You’ve followed me since I was young and small.
My thoughts would often beckon to the sky,
until one day a voice returned my call.
A gentle whisper came to answer “why.”
Since then our partnership has only grown.
All thoughts go second guessed by your remark.
I gained a gift to never be alone,
and yet it’s you I fear when days are dark.
The moment nears. A choice that must be made.
Remove the hold you have upon my throat,
or you’ll regret the years that you have stayed.
By God I’ll wield your dreadful antidote.
No matter what has welded us as one,
I’ll stop at nothing ’til this war is won.
